Athletic Association Tieenly-six It Just Happened So ' LICK — click — click slowly, but surely, moves the fortune wheel of the Class of 1919; every revolution disclosing some new phase of student life. It has done double duty in the six years of its ceaseless revolution passing over and recording events heretofore unknown to any class of the Fredericksburg State Normal School. Let us try to follow it from its initial turn from the eleventh day of September — six fleeting years ago, = when the Class of 1919, two strong — Ida Edwards and I — entered our School in quest of those things which may be gotten only through education. All the usual trials and tribulations so familiar to all rats, such as a little home sickness, a few complications in getting classified, a class too small for a picture in the annual, no %_sf-= athletics, and used by the Seniors for practice teaching, were ours in this period of our career. But as time and iaS space is both limited, we will have to pass hurriedly over these with only a mention of the two most important things which happened during our infancy. Literary societies were organized — The Russell and The Wood- row Wilson — which have been a source of pleasure and instruction constantly. The far-sighted agreement of the entire student body to live imder an honor system, gave us the beginning of our student government. A second turn of our wheel brought us back the following September to find here waiting for us a bunch of Prep Rats that made for us a regular class. They were : Ruby Beasley, Thelma and ] Iattie Frazer, Lucy Poindexter, the gifted swimmer, and Lucy Wilkins, who was to be our headlight to make the way bright through- out our career. Great was our surprise to see going up on the site of our tennis court a new dormitory, which was not completed until springtime ; also new athletic grounds above the school garden with four tennis courts and a cinder track to take the place of our torn-down tennis courts ; and an amphitheatre erected in the grove which afforded a lovely scene for a Midsummer Night ' s Dream presented by the Ben Greet Players. These along with a few other events such as a com- plete knock out in athletics; marks the end of the period of our preparatory work. When, with a rapid move, a third turn of our wheel is made, we find in our Freshman Class — Seltine Rice to be famous in basket-ball; Grace Mason, Georgia Cockerille and Adelaide Billingsley to be the ideal student teachers. The first thing to notice is the change of our President ' s office, library. Dean ' s office, and business office, over to the first floor of the new dormitory which was christened Virginia Hall along with the naming of the old dormitory Francis Willard and the adminis- tration building Russell Hall. Another marked change was a new driveway which went around both dormitories. The laying of a concrete pavement, which connected all the buildings, was something new and the old boardwalk had been replaced by a concrete walk leading all the way from School to Washington avenue. Our campus was set with shade trees, each one being dedicated to some Faculty member, and the centerpiece of evergreens, which added much to the beauty of our grounds. All these changes which greatly aft ' ected our school life, along with a few other happenings such as, learning how to make face rouge in Chemistrv Laboratory, the art of using it, and developing a famo us basket-ball team, ends the record of our third year. Tll en J)-3even ' Ti5nt?Tr :j n hOn ' ?W FI T=5 It Just Happened So Another swilft revolution finds in the section reserved for the Sophomores in assembly, along with the old girls — Celia Pearson, later to be our champion athlete; Frances Pierce, a talented musician; Lelia Mae Green, Ivarene Frazer, Joy Young, Ruby Brooking, Louise Campbell and Gladys Omohundro — all valuable material. With the Hallowe ' en celebration of a Dra- matic Club play, a marshmallow toast and a lovely supper, we began our fourth year. The fox and hound chase in which Mr. Cook ' s side won, and he carried his point, was also a source of much pleasure. The never-to-be-forgotten concert, given by the Hawaiian players, left an atmosphere which still remains with Louise Campbell. Our trip to Richmond, to hear Alma Gluck and ; Iaude Powell broke the monotony of things considerably and gave us an opportunity to hear some real artists. The inspiring results of our Class in athletics on Field Day mark the end of our interesting events covering the era of our High School training. Swiftly passes the wheel over the years 1913 to ' 17, stopping here and there for a brief instant, recording events too many and too varied to record each herein. But again it must stop to mark our Junior Year which begins our real profes- sional work. To plod the ways, we have with us this year Meta Hutchinson, Margaret Hess, Janet Peirce, Avie Belle Chiles, Maude and lola Warren, Julia Duncan, Sue Downing, Virginia Host, Emilie Trevvett, Elizabeth Roche, Hattie Kirsner, Bessie NlcKann. Elizabeth Carleton, Elizabeth Clarke, Mary Thomassen, Doris Daougherty, Charlotte Delano, Charlotte Jacob, Willie Dobyns, Helen Dew, Janie Evans, Sarah Underbill, Ella Mae Latham, Vivian Moore, Mable Nichols, Bessie Ogburn, Annie Towles, Grace Wood and Carolena Yates. With these to fill all vacancies and swell our numbers we enter upon the most eventful period of our career here, high in hopes and with a determination to live up to the ideals left by former professional classes. We bravely met Mr. Thorndike, Rousseau, Pestalozzi, Herliart, Froebel and Mr. James under Mr. Tyner ' s chaperonage. We also had an opportunity to visit the City Training School, and were thrown constantly with Miss Lucy G. Saunders. In athletics this year we had such girls as Carolena Yates, who won the cup awarded to the best all round athlete ; Celia Pearson and Sallye Rice, who made the varsity basket-ball team. Among the changes in the school grounds were the destruction of the old stone bridge and the beginning of a new laundry and engine room which have for a breathing shaft a tower which might be used as an observatory on Alarye ' s Heights. The measle epidemic marked a very memorable period for a number of the members of our Class. The Hawaiian players furnished a very desirable diversion from our school work along with the Junior-Senior reception, which was a very unique entertainment. The presentation of Bird ' s Christmas Carol by the Dramatic Club furnished a means of exhibiting the unusual talent of a number of our Class. There were many other events but less notable, which brings us to the end of our fifth revelation. Starting again with lightning speed our wheel soon finds itself recording for the last time the reappearance at the Fredericksburg Normal School of the Class of 1919 to carry through to the end the tasks undertaken six years ago. Thus we started 1919 — our year we might call it — and although realizing our responsibilities, we have found time to indulge once in awhile in undignified and amusing occupations. We have not yet permitted our studies to interfere with our pleasures. . mong the events to be recorded here are: the flu epidemic, which had its far-reaching results, one of which, very sacred to our memory, is the death of our most loved and proficient teacher, ]Miss Virginia Nlay Goolrick ; the United War Work riuen p-eig i It Just Happened So Campaign, to which our Class contributed $550, raised Ijy shucking corn and other activities; the experience and opportun- ity of teaching in the City Pubhc School ; the mock faculty meeting in which a number of the Seniors impersonated mem- bers of our beloved Faculty so remarkably that we felt confident of a position — should any of the School superintendents have been present; Alice in Wonderland, presented by the Dramatic Club, in which a large number of Seniors appeared; Hiawatha ' s Childhood, an operetta given by the Glee Club, which was thoroughly enjoyed; a concert given by the Capitol City Quartet; the making of a hope chest to preserve our diplomas and use as a safe to deposit our salaries; our reputation in athletics re-established; and, the final goal, graduation, toward which we earnestly labored. Fain would 1 write more and fuller details, but it would be a useless undertaking for I could never find time and space to chronicle all the happenings of our short six years here. I only hope you have at least a glimpse of our career. And now, while our wheel of fortune is slowly coming to rest, let us eaqh give thanks to our Alma Mater for her inspiration and ideals of further usefulness. Lucy Conway. All Truths Are Not Told I HAVE been elected Prophet of the Senior Class of 1919. Yet I can ' t understand why a class of such rare intelligence and wise judgment should make this selection, although I must admit it shows their good taste. Now, I ' m not going to sit down, as most prophets do, by a cherry, warm fire, on a dark and dreary night, and see through the glowing embers my dear classmates pop up in some outlandish place. But I am going to tell you, judging from my association with them in School, where they will be and what they will be doing five vears hence. To head the list, I prophesy that my old chum Mattie Frazer will in five years have a little cottage of her own busying herself daily with her household duties and feeding her ducks, geese, chickens n ' everything. I came to this conclusion from the numerous diamond rings she wears — and Oh ! those letters to and from C. R. Naturally the next one that comes into my mind is Mattie ' s dear friend, Ella Mae Latham. I predict, after being such a brilliant vocal student in our department of music, she will be teaching vocal lessons at Paree in a few years. Having such practice and becoming so skilled in the art of running motorbiles here at School, I foresee Elizabeth Roche and Louise Campbell running an aeroplane mail service between New York and Boston via Bowling Green. Tlucnl}f-mne All Truths Are Not Told No doubt alliof us have heard of the wonderful dressmaker Ivucile, but in years to come, poor Lucile will be no more, for the firm of Wilkins, Trevvett Host will be setting the world afire with the bifurcated outer garments designed by Trev- -ett, and patented by this firm. I need not tell you why I make this prediction, but in two years. I will come back to Fredericksburg to buy Ivarene Frazer a wedding present, and if l)y that time Helen Dew has completed the painting of a set of china for JNIr. Kaufman, maylje I could afiford one piece. But most likely by then Helen will have a spacious gallery of her own. I predict she will take up painting as her life work. Speaking of weddings, I prophesy that because Belle Ferguson doesn ' t want to be an old maid, and Adelaide Billing- sley ' s l)eau has just been given twenty acres of land and twelve hogs, they will be living on adjoining farms. In contrast to marriages, I see that our Class will have its full quota of old maid school teachers. I dare say I can ' t name them all but will mention a few — Harriet Leary, Annie Towles. Joy Young and Ethel Kay. I knew this from their love of the training school and the brilliant marks they made. Everybody knows how Thelma Frazer spent her time in School planning to show to us and the world how gracefully she could hop, so I see now that she will spend most of her time in Port Royal. Chilesburg and Moss Neck buying evening dresses besides a number of other things, to wear to the hopping parties which are given annually at V. P. I. INIaude Warren, who after studying and aiming for grand opera these years at the Normal will. I ' m sure, make the first Pony Ballet at the Hippodrome in a few years. Maie King? Does she. I say she does tickle the ivories, and in a few years she will be ragging the scale at the Pastime in Heckville. And her roommate, Lucy Poindexter, will be spending her time trying to surprise our modern writers in simplifying spelling, because she always got cat and rat mixed up. As most of you already know we first discovered Lucy Conway ' s marked ability as a barefoot dancer, when she was initiated into the clul) of the Nameless Nymphs, and the least I expect of her is to see that she has surpassed Ann Pavlowa in nature dancing. Elizabeth Carleton, who excelled in frogology, crawfishology and the like, will, in a few years, be holding Miss Atk- inson ' s position, because she alone has at last succeeded in finding an Amoeba. I ' m sure she will introduce the new sub- ject Amoebiology. And also ; Iargaret Hess will be teaching Sociology, because she was successful in teaching us when Mr. Tyner flu away for a week. After rooming with a teacher as Doris Daougherty has and becoming so closely connected with them, she will put in her application and. most probably, be elected supervisor of the training school at Doswell Field. I know IMary Thomasson. the President of the Student Government, will be introducing the honor system in all the _ schools in Apple-pie Land ; finding it worked successfully here. Be like George, never tell a lie! Thirly All Truths Are Not Told Ruby Beazley and Julia Duncan always longed to be missionaries; so I predict that they will in two years be among our most honored and popular missionaries in Happy Hooligan Land. Just on poipoise! Pearl Scriniger, Meta Hutcheson, Janie Evans and Sarah Underbill will be standing on the stump preaching suffra- gettism because they always supported the arguments set forth by Susan B. Anthony — when JNIr. Tyner brought her up in Sociology. Sue Downing and Alabel Nicolls, we all know, spent most of their time in the kitchen, as they w ere so fond of hot dogs and frogeyes. I know they will be running a community kitchen in Kitchenville, one taking orders and driving the motorbus, while the other does the cooking. Under the careful directions of our apt teacher, Vivian Moore. Bessie Ogburn and Georgia Cockerille have become up-to-date milliners, and in a few years, they will have a millinery department in the heart of Hattyville, and posted over the door you will surely see — New Spring Bonnets, Don ' t Hesitate To Buy Here. The Seat Of Styles, Charlotte Jacob after being successful here in the advertisement of flossy hoisery, I know in three years, will be pos- ing for Onyx hosiery, and you will surely see her in any of oixr big papers, such as the Fredericksburg Dailv. Hally Hootman will be known all over the universe as Miss Owl, the ring master, in Ring-a-ling-ling circus, after becoming such a master in School — even in mathematics. By this time Celia Pearson, our champion in athletics, will have her profession so well in hand that she will be ready and willing to challenge the Red Socks — maybe the Blue ! And Carolena Yates, our athletic dancer, will be teaching dancing in Somerset. Seltine Rice, better known as Saltine, who became famous while the quartet from Yenome was here, will, in a short time, join ' their happy band and, most likely, become the vocalist of our times. No more ' Saltines, ' we will have to eat hard-tacks ! One day I overheard a little conversation between Grace Wood, Elizabeth Clarke and Ruby Brooking, and at the end of the little interview they all came to this conclusion, that it was their Christian duty to become nurses, as they were very much needed these days. So from that, I prophesy that they will become nurses at the hospital of Get-ye-well. Janet Peirce, one of the most brilliant girls in the Senior Class and a great lover of Y. W. C. A. work, will surely become the leader of the big Y. W. C. Association at Blue Ridge and, at the same time, try to put out of existence the Hoyle authority on card playing and establish Peirce ' s instead, because she was such an expert in card playing here. In years to come, I foresee Charlotte Delano as editor of the Young Mothers ' Registry in the Ladies ' Home Journal being so interested in that work while here and for the same journal you will see that Gladys Omohundro is writing the col- umns of A Far Seeing Woman, making the journal much more attractive. Willie Dobyns, who has shown us her great love of travelling, by being placed on campus so manv times will, in a rAr ' rly-one All Truths Are Not Told few years, be travelling for the Royal Baking Co. and will be standing behind all the modern grocery stores in the North, East and South teaching people how to use this powder. During my years at the Normal, I discovered that Ethel Diggs was a writer by nature, and I predict after spending several years at the school of journalism, she will take up writing verse as her life work. C3ur horse charmer, Bessie McKann, after practicing two years here, will be an expert Ukulele player, and with her magic touch put out of existence the whip that has been used for so many centuries on the ranches of the West. Hattie Kirsner and Frances Pierce, who roomed together and became such devoted friends, no doubt, will go on through life together, hand in hand, ready to do their mission — heal the sick. In a few years I know Grace Mason will be going from farm to farm shucking corn, because she was such an expert when we had to do it to raise money for the war drive and then, too, she found there was so much profit in it. Being so successful in taking off Miss Straughan in the mock faculty meeting. Lelia Mae Green will be teaching the Locker System in all the schools in Blackberry county. Last, but not least is Avie Bell Chiles, who, after having such a hot discussion in Class about Athena being the Goddess of Liberty, I prophesy will visit the historic places in Athens, and be able to prove that Athena is the Goddess of Liberty. As prophets of old. I retire to my hut of obscurity (?) in no man ' s land. But I must say, that this sage and wisely given foretelling of their future has been given not only from the top of my gray matter, but from the bottom of my heart. So with this. I bid you a fond farewell. Paries vans? j la Caroline Warren. To TKose We Leave BeKind w E have found out through our study in Psychology that vl nature does not provide each human being with the same m! instincts and capacities and knowing this we have made a most careful survey and study of our beloved Faculty. Finding out how they have been endowed individually we have decided that the best way to let posterity know how the world has been transformed by the power and achievement of said Faculty to bequeath to them a Hall of Fame. Said hall to be located at the foot of the grove where all passersby may see it and be inspired to climb to the top of the hill. The inspiration being the statues of hitherto mentioned Faculty. We do further will to each member of the present Junior Thirl -inio r To Those We L?ave Behind Class a basket of rags and a cake of Sapolio with which we expect them to keep shining and imtarnished the statues in the Hall of Fame. We do cause these statues to lie executed according to the following descriptions : Statue I, President Russell. This statue is to represent the President of our School, and in one hand shall be a large golden . key. The expression on the face will show the character of the man who had always supported us with good advice and labored earnestly with us in our trials. This statue is erected because he approved our application before we entered the house of learning (our School) and no amount of camouflage on our part will conceal our shortcom- ings from his eagle eyes. We also give into the keeping of President Russell the statue of Diana of ' ersailles. to be placed on the first floor of ' ir- ginia Hall, as a sincere mark of gratitude from our Class to our Alma Mater. Statue 11, Dean Chandler. A low but heavy weight statue gracefully draped in a toga, holding toward the world a Chand- ler Dictionary (revised edition). We place this statue in the hall because he is the celelirated author of this dictionary which contains no words of less than ten syllables; chiefly because his mastery of words was not a gradual growth but contrary to all psychology, came as a flash of instantaneous inspiration at the age of two. Statue III. Airs. Harrison. . tall statelv statue, clothed in a pink gauzy robe holding in one hand a bottle of castor oil and in the other a hardwood spanking paddle. This statue is left because she l)egan her career by inventing a method of subduing insubordinate students, which imme- diately made a hit with a King ; because she embraces the faith that all pains that take us to the infirmary are merely imagination and easily cured by castor oil. Statue IV, Miss Hinman. This statue will be left on a pedestal in the Hall of Fame reminding passersby of the Metro- politan Art Gallery of New York. It is left because it is only here that she will feel at home or well placed ; because she has the instinct of hoarding and collecting all small bits of paper, scissors, rulers, and lastly, but not least, a marvelous number of adjectives which are just darling. Statue V, Miss Black. A majestic statue alone in the left wing, having hair which is artistically arranged in coquettish curls. This figure is posed in a position for the first steps of the dance. This statue is left because her capacity for being a first rate coquette was not stifled in early childhood ; because we know her step for graceful and sprightly dancing is often accom- plished by a Devil Dog from France. Statue T, Miss Atkinson. This statue shall have in one THrl})-lhree To Tnose We Leave Benind hand a rake and in the other a sprinkHng can. On her head shall be placed a garden hat, symbolic of her caUing. This is left because she has a general tendency to take, pull, twist, turn, drag or poke all things that grow, creep, crawl, or walk. Statue VII, Air. Tyner. A magnificent statue holding in one hand a box of rouge and in the other a recent booklet on the latest dance made famous by the dignified (?) Senior Class. This statue is left liecause he was born to be an intellectual giant ; because he believes that dancing and superfluous colors are acquired traits and cannot be transmitted. Statue VIII, Miss Houchen. This statue which shows supreme grace will be clothed in white middy blouse and a black accordian plaited skirt. We leave this statue because two-thirds of the world ' s work is done on account of rivalry and because she has out-rivaled the Greeks in the beauty of her solo dancing. Statue IX, Miss Walters. This statue shall emerge from a hedge about eighteen inches high, which is a great comfort to us on windy Virginia days. This is left because through her good influence the Junior Class has gladly lengthened their skirts. Even though she is short on statue, she is long on walks, which terminate in the A No -l ' Cafe. Statue X, Miss Peoples. Placed by the previously described statue we leave this piece of sculpture in the attitude of The Thinker by Rodin, wearing a yellow sweater and plaid skirt. This statue is made because we know she has developed the instinct for thinking which is not given but lent by nature. Fearing that this may escape we have caused this to be made in the act of performing this rite; but principally because she says to us, Use your common sense and think, think, think. Statue XI, Mr. Chiles. A stout but handsome figure clothed in a muffler, heavy overcoat and hat. Placed near this is a minature post office. We leave this statue because he follows the line of least resistance from the cottage to the mail-box, then to the tin lizzy and back again. Statue XII, Miss Crawford. This statue shall be small but executed in such a manner as to give at first sight the impres- sion of importance. It is to be placed on a tall stool in front of a large blackboard, on which are engraved these words, Owe Fines, Books Due, and Shu Sh Shu. This will be left because of her novel capacity for discipline which she discovered and used in the library, but which met with little encouragement by the students ; and further because no one else has quite the capacity for reading notices in the dining room. Thirl}f ' four To Those We Leave BeKind Statue XIII, Miss Lewis. Surrounded 1iy saws, lianmiers. planks, nails, knives, and at the foot of this statue is Young Russia kneeling. This statue is erected l)ecause of her capacity for construct- iveness, a genuine instinct which has been given full play in directing and teaching the youth of Russia. Statue XIV, liss Straughan. This shall be a life-like statue in the attitude of teaching Locker easy method writing. This statue goes in the Hall of Fame because the capacity for gentleness has been so fully developed that the harshest words she has ever been known to utter are push and pull. Statue XV, Dr. Smith. On the face of this statue is an expression of deep meditation. The figure represents the act of writing a prescription. This is left because of late he has invented a brand new prescription known to the School as anti-flu ; because he and his Ford run on schedule time visiting the sick. Statue XVI, Aliss Saunders. Clothed in a red dress artis- tically trimmed in glossy white satin. It is surrounded by a group of ideal student teachers. We cause this statue to be erected because she has instilled into us an unlimited amount of subject matter; and because she picked out each one of us for a ninety-per-cent girl Statue XVII, Aliss Clarke. Shall be placed near the post ollice window near Statue XI. and in her hand shall be placed a Kodak. This we lea e because we realize that she is happiest when handling a Kodak and that even the statue would lie uncom- fortable if placed in any other environment. Statue XVIII, !Miss Turner. Dressed in a suit of gray and showing by the noble expression on the face that she thinks the students of this School are unprepared on English before entering. This statue we cause to be erected because she possesses a literary capacity which resulted in finding the solution to the ])roblem of linking up the past with the present. Statue XIX, Miss Tanner. This statue shall be clothed in a stiff and starchy white dress, a green coat and a purple hat. It shall be seated, holding in one hand a thick volume of Dere Mable. This statue gets in the Hal! of Fame because at the present we have seen no tendency on her part to possess anything except Dere liable ; because as curiosity was entirely left out of her make-up she never misses a trick. Statue XX, Miss Smitli. Seated with an open book of poems in her hands. This statue we erect because of her capacity for managing men which resulted in the pleasant pastime of reading to a soldier who listened with all attention. Thirty- five To Those We Leave Behind Statue XXI, Mrs. Carter. Standing in a position gazing fondly at a gold leaf, held fondly in one hand and in the other shall be a long grocery memorandum of familiar foods. This is erected because of the multiple reaction to the feed- ing instinct which lias resulted in the habitual act of feeding us certain specified foods on certain specified days. Statue XXII, J Ir. Hamlet stooping over a laboratory desk with a pipe in his mouth holding in one hand an occasionally used notebook and in the other a neatly folded, perfectly clean handkerchief. This statue is in the Hall of Fame because he makes us think he prepared to smoke any brand of tobacco — no more modest man ever drew the breath of a pipe ; further, because even though he is a most gifted reasoner in math. he is easily de- ceived by the pupils who can calculate just how many times to cut his class and get by. Statue XXII, Miss Chesley. Representing mirth, laughter and good common sense by the smile of the lips and the expres- sion of the eyes. This statue is executed because even though she is Secretary to the President and Treasurer of the School, the responsibility of this position fails to crush her sense of humor. Statue XXIV, Mrs. Ferneyhough. At the foot of this statue shall be placed many bags of gold. This statue is left because she has the power to mesmerize, thereby causing students at the end of every four weeks to empty the contents of their pocketbooks to her. Statue XXV, Miss Keller. Directing a class of attractive young boys who form an orchestra. W ' e cause this statue to be executed because of the musical capacity she possesses and which has hardened into a power ; and because her directions as g iven in our celebrated Glee Clul) are, Sit up straight and make nice light head tones. Statue XXVI, Mrs. Motley. Standing and holding in one hand a launch of keys and in the other a purple knitted sweater. We erect this statue because she has demonstrated the power to stand alone and twirl keys ; because we realize that gentle- ness has been fully developed in her by her sympathetic and motherly disposition. Statue XXVII, Miss Motley. Standing at a table covered with numerous small instruments dissecting the brain of a man. This statue is placed in the Hall of Fame because she is such an excellent referee Ijetween geometry and the student and Iiecause she says she understands men. Statue XXVIII, Mr. Dunaway. Overtowering all others in height, in the act of watching closely a speedometer in his hand. Under one arm is an enormous History of the War compiled by himself. He is a most level-headed historian ; and because of the belief which he holds that the modern school girl cannot understand Thirty-six ■ ' b-jiyh-q.: - ' To Those We Leave Behind English unless spoken in low, slow, mellow tones, with long stops between each word. Statue XXIX, Miss Waitt. Clothed in sombre attire and seated at a table surrounded b)- a group of girls eating noisely. We cause this statue to be executed because of her treatise on table manners entitled. ' hat To Do, Hear, and See At the Table ; because she has inhibited in all members of ' illard Hall any desire to do other than tip-toe when walking, and use ghostly whispers when talking down the corridors on Sunday afternoon. We believe in the law of instincts as well as the specialization of capacities, in the individual differences of inborn nature. the control of originial tendencies, the law of association, and that habits are formed from other habits. We believe that the Junior Class will respond to this novel situation and we do hereby appoint them administrators and executors of our estate, with power to call on our sisters, the Sophomores, as needed in the administration of our estate. The foregoing instrument we declare to be our last will and testament; in testimony whereof, we. the Class of 1919, have set our hands and seals as testifying witnesses, this seventh day of June.

(discussing class ring stones) — I ' d just as soon have an imitation. Miss H. — There are some people who are perfectly satisfied with imitations of all kinds. Miss A. — What are closterium ?
